The environment has helped me stay productive, yet it never feels like I’m missing out on leisure.”

However, she also enjoys the hotel’s social scene and often attends the exclusive events hosted for residents, like private dinners or cocktail evenings.

Mark also appreciates the privacy of the residences compared to staying in a hotel room. He enjoys the independence that comes with having his apartment but with access to hotel amenities whenever he wants them.
